Uchiha's Counterattack

Chapter 273
Not surprisingly, Xia Nan was selected, and the fanatical old man came with him.

The two, accompanied by a dozen other people who were selected together, were escorted to Longquan Temple by Gennin.However, the crowd did not really enter Longquan Temple, but was transferred to a small temple next to it halfway. It was a dilapidated temple that looked as if it was about to collapse.

Xia Nan frowned. With the help of the cold moonlight, he could feel that there was something uncomfortable in this temple.Faintly, Jin Yan hidden in his body had the feeling of wanting to break through the shackles.And when Xia Nan's feet stepped over the threshold of the temple, ready to go underground, this feeling became even stronger.

There is no doubt that there should be some kind of taboo set outside the door just passed, is it a sealing technique or a wider range of enchantment?It is meaningless to care about these at this time, because Xia Nan has already followed the team to the underground space.

It was dark and damp, and there were only cold stones in the dark space.

There is no light here, only the roar of a beast echoing in the corridor.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air, as well as a trace of uncomfortable smell. Xia Nan had experienced that smell once in the underground corpse vault at the root.Subconsciously glanced around, the dark space has little effect on Xia Nan, his eyes can see through the slaughterhouse hidden in the darkness...

The further you look forward, the more dead bones and rotting corpses you see, and the bloody smell becomes stronger.

These corpses and bones were not handled carefully, but were treated as one-time consumables, and were thrown outside directly after use.It was not buried and disposed of because something in this underground space needed the nourishment of blood, and before death, the inexplicable helplessness of human beings grasping the wall with empty hands, even digging blood from their fingernails, desperately trying to escape and helplessness.

"..."

At this time, there was a faint light coming from the front, and when everyone was silent in the oppressive atmosphere here, the moment they saw the light, everyone except Xia Nan and Gennin who was in charge of the escort relaxed. tone.They showed a relaxed expression, as if they thought this long and depressing road was finally over.

The old man beside Xia Nan showed an inexplicably excited expression.

The old man regarded the depression he had just experienced as some kind of test. It was a test of gods for mortals, and only those who passed it could gain real relief.

When everyone came to a circular underground space, the burning candles around them gave off a small amount of light, illuminating the oppressive and dark underground space.

There is a statue at the end of this circular space. The statue looks ugly and weird like a distorted bug with its mouth wide open. The bloody mouth seems to have swallowed the flesh and blood of countless people. The blood has turned into a thick black color. The engraved particularly energetic eyeballs are full of viciousness, which makes people shudder at a glance.

There are also four men in black robes standing around the statue, who seem to be in charge of worship.

Gen Ren walked over and talked with those people.

"This is the last group of people tonight. Lord Danzo ordered that we don't have to let go of them this time." Genin said calmly. In order to cover up their crimes, they would more or less let go of them on weekdays. Personally go back and block other people's mouths, and strengthen ordinary people by strengthening ninjas for better publicity.

But now it is only the last group of people who are away from resurrecting the expression of "that". Once Zero Tail's resurrection is successful, this base will be useless. Everything must be eliminated before Shin Konoha notices that something is wrong, so It is also destined that no matter who is in this underground base tonight, it is impossible to be released alive.

※※※

Xia Nan is very sensitive to the breath of death, probably because he has lived in a high-pressure environment for a long time, which has sharpened his sixth sense.

He fixed his eyes on the two people in the conversation, already vaguely aware of what was going to happen next.

"Young man, quickly kneel down and worship the statue of the Lord God like us."

At this time, the people around had already knelt in a circle, and under the malicious guidance of others, they regarded the statue of the strange beast as a god. They knelt down devoutly as if they were really facing the god, and whispered to themselves Treat each other as slaves, begging for mercy and gifts from the so-called "gods".

Xia Nan narrowed his eyes slightly. He noticed that there seemed to be some subtle changes in the kneeling people. As they kept whispering and lowering their postures, they seemed to have established some connection with the statue, similar to Conclude the same thing as a contract.

However, the breath of this contract is even more sinister, and there is also a disgusting stench spreading.

Xia Nan took a few steps back unconsciously, waving her hands to try to disperse the spreading stench.At this time, it was too late to stop the continuation of the ceremony. Once the contractual relationship was established, it was impossible for Xia Nan to stop it.What's more, this group of people kneeled so fast that Xia Nan had already kneeled before he could react.

Xia Nan has no compassion or compassion for those who give up on themselves.

Has he become cold-blooded?No, Xia Nan has her own set of moral principles, but she doesn't like blind people who are blindly superstitious and worship the devil as a savior. Even if the other party is deluded, people still need to pay the price for their actions.

So the moment Xia Nan stood in the silent underground, she was already disappointed and gave up.

I must be here again to witness the death of the fool.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for these people's bodies to change. They roared like wild animals, their scarlet eyes looked at their companions with killing intent and they wrestled together.They bit each other, fighting like beasts, biting each other's neck with their canines, and tearing each other's body with their nails. The whole process looked extremely primitive and brutal.

But this is only a staged symptom of madness. The brains of this group of people have been invaded by zero tails, causing them to lose their humanity. However, after the adaptation period passes, they will recover their own cognition--followed by the real horror and despair. Start.

Their death will become Lingwei's flesh and blood, and their spiritual fear and despair will become Lingwei's food. They are like plates of beautifully packaged dishes, coaxed into this underground space by Gennin people, and then use them The cult of ignorance establishes a connection with Zero Tail.

And then—was devoured.

The people who reacted let out a miserable cry. The hallucinations in their minds made them realize the deterioration of the matter, and through the hallucinations, they also saw that the people who came here before were all tortured to death in this way.

As for those who went back...they were selected survivors who were taken to other places and fed pills, seemingly cured but actually just the bait these people used to gag other people's mouths.And the more people know about their miracles, the more people will come here especially to be selected, and then sent here to serve as food for this monster.

"Quick, run away!"

The rest of the people roared with their remaining rationality. They ran out tumbling and crawling, fell down in the blood and got up, stepping on a lot of bones under their feet, and rushed all the way towards the exit.

Can they escape?The answer is no, no matter what the outcome, they will die here tonight.

Soon there were screams from outside, they tortured the malice in the illusion to death, because only in this way can Zero Tail absorb the purest fear of human beings.
